If you are having a problem with the ARC forums not displaying

"I figured it out. If you are experiencing the problem where the formatting of the forum is basically gone and is all text, do the following. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and find the link labeled "Theme". Click on it and select
"Old ARC (default)". That fixed the
problem for me."

Ireland - St. Patrick's Day
|
|
 |
St. Patrick's Day
is
Ireland's National Day. I think this is the only National Day
that is celebrated by so many different countries around the
world, with many people not even knowing it is Ireland's
National Day. I find that quite funny. |
| Also...the
Irish flag
is Green to represent the Catholics and
Orange to represent the Protestants with a band of white
neutrality between the Orange and Green. I wish peace to
everyone in Ireland. |
| Happy
St. Paddy's Day everyone!!!! |
